What if collaborative robots didn't just stop at collision but avoided collisions altogether? And while doing that kept performing the task they set out to do? That's the premise for Universal Robots' new trade show demo where a UR5 robot arm will pick "widgets" out of a feeder that moves around and is dynamically tracked by the vision-guided cobot.
